Hmmm, come to think of it... I have found two eggs this week in the run, and my girls use the nest box most of the time! Maybe it is the weather?

Tee hee, she took a dz duck eggs and a dz chicken eggs, plus I gave her one of my farm logo shirts for free advertising for me and a nice new shirt for her to wear out bumming around.
I gave her a stack of my business cards, too but that was really not a fun thing for her to get, imo. BUT it sure helps me if she gives them out!

AND Jackie, my dear, brought me 5 hens and a roo! I was so wanting a blue roo but I got a gray. Three hens are a black but not a deep black like my Fancy. And 2 Partridge hens of some sort. I don't usually care for Partridge in Silkies but these girls are really pretty! I will be putting them with my Partridge roo, Gabriel, to see what I may hatch out. He carries other colors but expresses Partridge and no telling what the girls may have mixed in so this will be a fun bunch to hatch from. I do not hatch many Silkies. I love the babies but I do not seem to have much of a market for my extras and we definitely do not eat Silkies.

I am tickled with them and wish I had room for more. The price was fabulous!

Here is a photo of them. It is darker in that room so the colors look funny since the flash went off.

They look good! I will trade you that gray roo for a blue partridge roo, a white roo, or a black lav split roo....

Oh my gosh Pink! When you said mandolin slicer I held my breath. Those things scare me. I think instead of faster, you need to slow down. Safety first.
